Zeke nodded and replied, “Of course.”

Bertram looked at Zeke sternly and said, “Great Marshal, you're suspected of murdering Rhett and Lucy. Please

cooperate with our investigation. Rest assured that I will ensure justice will be served if you're innocent.”

Zeke and everyone else didn't know how to respond to that.

After a while, Sole Wolf shouted, “D*mn it! I feel like throttling you to death right now.”

Nonetheless, Zeke said, “No worries. I will prove that I'm innocent.”

Then, Zeke came up to Clement, who lay on the ground like a dead man.

Clement couldn't even muster his courage to face Zeke.

Zeke laughed in ridicule and announced, “Clement Bedzra has committed hideous crimes. Sole Wolf, execute him

right now.”

Sole Wolf immediately replied, “Yes, Great Marshal!”

Clement couldn't believe his ears and begged Zeke, “Great Marshal, please don't do it. Please let me go. I was

wrong. Please give me a chance to live.”

Zeke asked, “Well, tell me why you were wrong.”

With his face covered in tears and snot, Clement said, “I shouldn't have framed you. It was all Sheldon's fault. He

threatened me with my family, saying that he would harm them if I didn't cooperate with him to frame you.”

Clement paused for a while and added, “Sheldon has a lot of lackeys who are brainless and lunatic enough to do

whatever they want. They might even try to harm Great Marshal once Sheldon gives them the instructions, not to

mention a low-ranking officer like me. Hence, I had no choice but to submit to him to ensure my family's safety. I

then conspired with Sheldon to frame you. In other words, you're innocent. Instead, Sheldon is the one who

murdered Rhett and Lucy.”

After Clement finished, Zeke shot Sole Wolf a meaningful glance.

Immediately, Sole Wolf loaded his gun, strode toward Clement, and aim it at his head. “You're still reluctant to tell

us the truth. In that case, I might as well send you to hell!”

“Ah!”

Clement felt terrified and shrieked, “Sir, please let me live. I swear that everything that I've said is true.”

Zeke snickered and said, “Are you fooling us? Why would the provincial police department's chief be afraid of an

entrepreneur?

Sole Wolf added, “Zeke, don't waste your time talking to this prick. Since he is guilty, we can execute him on the

spot.”

As Zeke's patience had waned off, he said, “Kill him.”

Feeling terrified, Clement wailed and begged Zeke, “Please don't do it! I'll tell you.”

Clement knew that if the soldiers were instructed to kill him, they would act without hesitation.

In other words, Zeke wasn't threatening him but would do it once he had made up his mind.

Clement thought he still had a chance to live after telling the truth, or else his death would be inevitable.

As Clement was deep in thought, Zeke said, “Say it. If you ever lie to me again, I'll end your life immediately.”

After gulping nervously, Clement explained, “Sheldon gave me a lot of money. I'll never earn that much even if I

work in the same position for 80 years. I was tempted by the bribery and chose the lowly path. I deserve

punishment...”

While Clement was talking, Zeke interrupted, “You're still not being honest. Based on my information, your family

members declare themselves entrepreneurs. Although the properties are registered under the names of your

family members, you're the one who controls everything. In that case, why would you care about bribery?”

Then, Zeke turned to Sole Wolf and instructed, “Sole Wolf, you may execute him right away if he still refuses to tell

us the truth. Also, investigate his family members and severely punish those who have committed any

wrongdoings.”

“Yes, Great Marshal!”

Sole Wolf loaded the gun and pointed it at Clement's head.

As Clement closed his eyes, despair washed over his face.

It was almost impossible for anyone to hide anything from the intelligent Great Marshal.

After giving it some thought, Clement had no choice but to reveal the truth. “All right, Great Marshal. I'll come clean.

However, I might be tortured and killed after telling the truth. I won't request your protection but merely hope that

you can keep my family safe!”
